03 3.2 CL-P Update

You might need acrobat reader to open.

 

Thanks for the info.

I like how (steps 10 & 11 of the repair) the battery hold down rod doubles as a timing belt adjuster holder. How efficient!

 

Thanks SickCL,

Not applicable to me, but very interesting anyway.

If I may ask, where did you get this??? It would be cool to see others in this format.

Unbelievale .... Acura does a recall for slight loss of power due to cam shaft problem and no Recal for the failing tranies...

 

I think its terrible that they have to take all that sfuff apart. I don't trust most of these mechanic !
What a mess !

 

I just made my service appointment, park avenue is doing mine on dec 4th

 

The answer to that is easy.......they know how to fix the camshaft problem.

 

I'm not exactly sure how SickCL accomplished it, but if one wanted to create a PDF like that, all you would need is the original documents, a scanner, and Adobe Acrobat (the full program, not the reader). You could scan the pages into a picture format of your choice and embed them into a Word document, for example. Acrobat can then convert the Word doc to a PDF file.

There's probably an easier way to do it than that though. My way seems a little too roundabout.

 

Totally and completely not true.

This is not a recall, it's a product update notice. Why not call it what it really is instead of a recall since a recall is somewhat derogatory and inflamatory?

 

True Ken, an update!!!
Hey I like that!!!
An update, like the water pump and timming belt (update)?

 

If you honestly believe this is a recall...no wonder you are completely confused.

 

Recall or not ... this is a warranty work that would performed at no cost and the affected cars owners are notified.

If you would like to call a recall for only a "product update for a safety reason" then that is fine... more or less it is the same.

 

But there is a difference.

In who pays for the work: dealer, customer, Acura

In who must be notified: by mail, on the news, or wait until customer comes back for next service maintenance.

A car's review can be tainted by multiple recalls but not by multiple service bulletins. No wonder Honda wants to hide it's service bulletins from consumers. I would hide them too if every time a consumer saw a "service bulletin" they felt it was a recall and they were compelled to come in to have the work done.

There are actually a fair amount of people who are unfamiliar with the manufacturing process who will swear the work is required on their car if it was done on their neighbor's car (with a different VIN range) just because they are the same cars.

Leads to mistrust of the manufacturer...loss of credibility....people spreading bad information.

 

Is it just me or does Ken sound (or types) like a service advisor or an acura representative???

 

But this recall is not for the type S. on the regular cl.
